The plot of Caribbean Basterds centers on a trio of young rich kids who rebel against their arms-dealing parents and also stumble across a big drug cache. It's set on a Venezuelan isle, hence the title. Apparently Enzo is pitching it as "action, action, action and lots of sex and drugs," adding that "there is lots of violence against rich folks, and the kids take advantage of the situation to have fun with a few orgies." Wow. And as for that title, ""Quentin's going to be surprised when he sees the title, and I'm going to say: 'You were inspired by my movie, but I just copied from yours with no shame.'" Castellari is a jokester, too!
In addition to Tarantino providing inspiration, Enzo says it was actually Stanley Kubrick who provided the most inspiration for Caribbean Basterds. One of the three characters is a big Kubrick fan, so in their punitive missions they wear bowler hats, white uniforms, and wield metal batons. "It's a homage to Kubrick with various genuflections on my part," Castellari says. This actually sounds like a cool combination of inspirations and a fun little story - I'm sold! I have not see Castellari's Inglorious Bastards yet, though I do own the new DVD and plan to see it soon. And of course, we'll let you know how Tarantino's Basterds is.
